Virtual Assistants (VA's) – My Personal Journey as a V.A.

Week 42 – The world still needs helicopters

“You don’t need to build yourself a rocket ship; you only need to fly a helicopter at this stage! The world still needs helicopters.” (Kathy van der Velde)

Those words were said to me by a good friend this week and I think they are SO profound. I’ve been going through that awful phase that we as VA’s are so familiar with: “Do I know enough?”

You will be surprised by how much you know when you sit down to think about it. Research becomes automatic when we are VA’s; we don’t even know we are doing it and we don’t realise how much information we absorb during the course of one day. So many VA’s are writing E-books and promoting their services via webinars and videos. They had to start somewhere – they weren’t boffins all in one day let alone one year!

So I put it to you straight – are you proud of flying your helicopter? I know I am! But I love flying so much, maybe one day I’ll go to the moon after all one way or another!!
